Ten points to the first person who can tell me the source of the following poetry.

I’ve been sitting here all day thinking
Same old thing ten years away thinking
Now my days are gone, memories linger on
Thoughts of when I was boy

Pennyfarthings on the street riding
Motorcars were funny things, frightning
Bow and hoops and spinning tops
Annie gretzel’s lollipops
Comic cuts, all different things

Areoplanes tied up with string flying
Telephones and talking things sighing
A radio and phonograph, Charlie Chaplin made us laugh
Silently falling about
Familiar things I keep around, near me
Memories of my younger days, clearly
Now it’s in my mind?
Everyday I find, thoughts of when I was boy

Alright!

I’m not allowed to request the Sex Shop Boys because it’s only just been played – I’ve gone for Boys by Sabrina instead. Can’t wait.

Mistyped URLs often provide sublime discoveries. Searching for something different to listen to here at the office this morning, I suggested that we try Radio Paradise – a site that my father-in-law recently suggested to me.

I passed on the address incorrectly and we ended up at Paradise Radio – ‘The Legends Of Italo-Disco And Euro-Beat’.

We’ve just been listening to Video Kids – Woodpeckers From Space (Disco Mania Remix), which someone requested specifically from the list of over 2000 tracks on the server. Unfortunately, the recently played list tells me that we’ve just missed Sex Shop Boys – Big Tits (Brasil Import Remix).

I’m off to request it again.
